The Tasmania Project - Creative and Cultural Industries Survey

The Tasmania Project was established by the Institute for Social Change at the University of Tasmania to understand how Tasmanians are experiencing and adjusting to the social, political and economic responses to COVID-19. The project aims to support immediate and longer term social and economic decisions by providing useful, evidence-based and timely information, and share Tasmanian residents' experiences and ideas through this critical period and beyond.

This dataset is for the Creative and Cultural Industries (CCI) Survey, which was open from 6 - 31 August 2020 and had a final sample size of 291 individuals who were working (or had worked), either paid or unpaid, in the creative and cultural industries in Tasmania. The survey consisted of six sections: 1. Involvement in the sector, 2. Work in the sector, 3. Income, 4. COVID-19 recovery for the sector in Tasmania, 5. Concerns and wellbeing, 6. Demographic information.

For this survey, we partnered with the Tasmanian Government’s Department of State Growth to understand the impact of the pandemic on Tasmania’s creative and cultural industries and individuals who work in the sector.
